The Morgai (S. "Black Fence")[1][2] was an eastern ridge in the Ephel Dúath, forming an inner wall to Mordor's western defense.[3] The edge of the ridge was notched and jagged with fang-like crags.[4] It was separated from the Ephel Dúath by a trough, in which a road lead from Durthang in the North to the Morgul-pass.[5]
